Man, if you're looking to flip like the pros, you gotta stay on top of GoDaddy, NameJet, and DropCatch auctions first. That's where most action is. Second, tools like ExpiredDomains.net help catch good deals. Don't forget about private deals! Sometimes real gems hide there.

PS. Once you build a reputation, people will come to you with offers.

DNWE.com is also a marketplace dedicated to wholesale price deals only.

Not to forget - DNForum's Tuesday Newsletter quite often has names priced for wholesale deals.

And, many hire people whose daily job is to go and analyze these lists on daily basis. Especially true for many SEO domains brands.

All the success!!

Pro domainers often find domains through expired registrations, auctions, and online marketplaces. They also explore niche-specific keywords, industry trends, and brandable names. Networking in domain forums and communities can lead to discovering valuable opportunities. Additionally, utilizing domain appraisal tools helps identify potential flips. By staying updated on market demand and emerging trends, domainers can enhance their chances of finding profitable domains. It’s a mix of research, intuition, and experience that drives their success. ;)

Not a pro domainer, but trying my best to stop the habit.
Heavily relying on auction websites & backorder servies.

Paying $59 per backorder.
It takes a while to feel the burn that's really intense on my purse : )

You will go broke very quickly paying dropcatch prices for the majority of dross they list. You're better off looking at already established domains with known traffic stats.

But with the ones that are taken you can get exact information. It is better to pay more for 1 established domain that you can make money from than 100 rubbish dropcatches at inflated prices that don't ever make any money.

Hello, Jean2, They will regularly browse major domain name registration platforms to find newly registered or expiring domain names, participate in bidding on domain name auction sites, grab expired domain names or communicate in domain name trading forums.
